It’s fine if you just want to skim the news, or play around with trending — but as a Google Reader app, it’s useless. Doesn’t mark articles as ‘read’, makes you pick each particular feed you want included, no option to just incorporate >all< of your Reader feeds.

With luck, Google has something similar in the works more specific to Reader use.

Often times content providers have to jump through foreign government hoops. An international roll-out is not easy.

It takes forever to sync. Content is very limited. UI is clunky. I doubt it will survive my delete finger by tomorrow. That’s assuming it doesn’t take until Xmas to sync. Update: Still syncing. Content so very limited. I can’t believe this app got released in its current form. Not ready for prime time. Just deleted it.

Yeah even a promo video can’t hide the lag on the galaxy tab there. It’s not out in eu so I don’t care for this

First thing I thought as well. When I saw this headline popping up I thought, “Awe, poor Feedly.”

Even if this app rocks, Feedly will still remain my desktop reader.

So that spells “goners” for Feedly, Pulse & Taptu?
